"We mean to be the people we meant to be" Miller Williams.
As an RD who understands the obesity struggle, professionally, but also, through my own story, I blog musings that seek to help you get and STAY fit. Start with visualizing yourself healthy and gorgeous! The recipes, suggestions, and information on optimal diet and nutrition flow from that. I often peek into spiritual issues and coping with life frustrations. Keep perspective, laugh, find joy, stay hopeful, love life. You'll DO IT!

Heart Healthy Valentine Menu -- Quick and Easy!

We don't eat red meat that often (once every 2 weeks), but tonight just seems to call for it! Here's a very quick and easy menu to put together. Try to get the freshest ingredients possible, but if you must use what's in your cupboard or from the shops -- so be it -- more time for other activities! ;) If you are vegetarians, for your main course, make an omelette with mushrooms and gorgonzola cheese. Omit the mozzarella cheese in the starter. If you are vegans, make your best lentil or nut roast!

About Me

I am a registered dietitian who enjoys eating, cooking, and serving delicious food. I choose market fresh and seasonal as much as possible. I, too, have struggled with my weight. I strive each day to get and stay fit! When I see obese people, I want to help them. My wish is for them to feel/look better. This is what I do -- I help them. I feel a call to help obese and overweight people. I have worked several years as a pediatric dietitian, treating the full spectrum of nutritional needs in the pediatric population from failure-to-thrive to super-obesity and everything inbetween. I loved working with the kids/teens who needed to lose weight. I've been there! The humiliation and suffering, and, even setbacks that I experienced from growing up obese, inspired me to study dietetics and to work in this field, sharing the wealth of knowledge and understanding of this frustrating condition with others. My goal has always been to help effectively treat,and/or, better, PREVENT obesity. Obesity is a condition that can consume a person's whole life and spirit. I'm up to serve in whatever ways I can, those who seek to lose weight and get and stay fit!
